The guard outside the door stormed in and apprehended Dominic. Fred charged into the room next, but he was too late. The
electrocardiogram emitted a high-pitched screech as it showed a flat line.
"No, no, no!" Fred darted toward Lily and shook her by the shoulders. "Don't you fucking die on me! This is an order!"
As he shouted like a madman, the doctors rushed into the room to perform CPR. However, the flat line on the electrocardiogram
persisted, signifying that Lily was gone.
"No!" Fred charged toward Dominic, who the guard held back. "Why? Why?! She's your favorite student! Why did you kill her?! You
were supposed to save her!"

Fred punched Dominic in the face, who spat out a mouthful of blood. Despite his swelling face, Dominic smirked.
"I did save her," he murmured as he gazed gently at Lily.
"You're a crazy old man!"
Fred was livid. He should never have trusted him. A miracle doctor? Acupuncture? It was all bullshit! Dominic had cto kill her
instead of saving her. How could he have believed a goddamn charlatan?
"Save her! If she dies, I'll kill all of you," Fred said shouted.
The doctors knew that Lily was dead, but they did not dare to give up. They continued to perform CPR and even brought out the
defibrillator. They were worried about using it at first as they worried her heart could not handle it, but they had no other choice
now.
Glancing over his shoulder at the ECG machine, a doctor solemnly called out, "Clear!"
Just as they were about to apply the defibrillator, they heard a faint grunt. Then, the flat line on the electrocardiogram suddenly
jumped. After a moment, it settled into a steady rise and fall.
Lily's closed eyes finally flickered.

"She's alive?"
The doctor took a step back in shock as if they were seeing a ghost. At the stime, they were relieved, knowing that they were
safe.
Surprised, Fred hurried over to her. "Lily? Lily?"
Lily weakly opened her eyes before closing them again. Even her fingers were twitching.
"I knew you weren't going to die!" Fred laughed happily.
